Between their stops in San Francisco last week and the upcoming show at Comic Con this coming Thursday, Nobuo Uematsu and the Distant Worlds team took a break from the show in Los Angeles at the Royal/T cafe/art gallery/book shop (yes, it’s a strange place) for a special Distant Worlds II record release party. While Distant Worlds hasn’t been to Los Angeles yet (there were hints that a show might be coming next year), over 100 fans turned out to this special event to get signed CDs, posters, and photos with Uematsu and Arnie Roth.
It was a very successful event I’d say, and we have a gallery from the evening’s festivities, including shots of the line that started a whole hour and half before the doors opened, some FFXIII cosplayers (I guess it doesn’t matter that Uematsu didn’t score FFXIII), and of course Uematsu’s latest beer-themed apparel. I even asked Uematsu about The Last Story and his “Best of” album that he mentioned in the past.
All of this and more after the jump. (more…)
